I found a way to customize the order in which the tables are displayed without changing php code:

1. Add a field `id` to table `dadabik_table_list`. Assign the id numbers to each table in the order you want them displayed. For example, if you want table `table_1` to be displayed first, assign '1' as the id.
2. Rename table `dadabik_table_list` to something else (I used `dadabik_table_list_table`)
3. Create a VIEW called `dadabik_table_list` with the following query:

CREATE VIEW `databik_table_list` AS
SELECT `dadabik_table_list_table`.* FROM `dadabik_table_list_table`
ORDER BY `dadabik_table_list_table`.`id`;
